A big part of quality of life is trying to make it good.
The stoics taught that you should focus on what you can control, and that still holds true. I can’t fix the world, I can try, but I can focus on searching for joy in my life.
So for 2024 don’t let the doomers keep you down, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first and try to find the things that will make you happier. Go camping, try a hobby, ask for a promotion you’ve been after.
Dont go full “hakuna matata”, deal with the important stuff you need to, but don’t forget about yourself.
Video game communities suck, and it makes playing them worse.
You play an FPS and everyone uses the meta gun at the time, then it gets nerfed and they use the new meta gun. Same with RTS and any other multiplayer game. Somehow StarCraft 1 pulled out a perfect rock paper scissors balance, but nothing else really has that so meta is what people do.
And because everyone is so busy grinding and min maxing, that’s what the game developers design for now, and it sucks the fun out of games because you just grind hours to get some new items to have the best items in the game.
Occasionally game communities are good. The Chivalry 2 subreddit had a bot that would use GPT to answer questions and then on every post go on about how the polehammer is the best weapon in the game, which was so over the top it made fun of the whole meta idea. The Breath of the Wild communities doing crazy rube Goldberg machines are always fun. And I’ll never not enjoy the weird hellscapes people create in the Sims.
Incel is a mindset, plenty of women will look past looks for people who make them laugh, or are interesting, or who do fun things with them.
When you show women 10000 photos and ask them to choose from them, yes they’ll go for looks, that’s all the signal they get.
My advice to incels is to find some fun hobbies, could be hiking or solitary things, as long as it makes you happy. When you’re happy, people will be drawn to you. If you focus on being butter and angry, people will sense that and avoid you.
I’m joking, but of my friends I’m the only one who brings a camera to stuff and takes pictures, and everybody groans when I do it. If I weren’t there there’d be no pictures, and there are no pictures of me because I’m behind the camera!
Captain, I just finished upgrading your chair again, it now has subwoofers, 6 built in comm displays to watch movies on, and hydraulics tied into our EPS relays. I don’t have time to teach you how to use it, so don’t touch that button
